A New Angle
With a sleek Contemporary style and a 360-degree range of motion, Kohler’s Karbon Articulating Kitchen Faucet takes convenience to a new level. The sprayhead fixture is composed of five pivoting joints that allow the user to stretch it to 18 inches high or fold it to a height of less than eight inches. This flexibility also enables the faucet to be positioned over a counter or cooktop for completing such a task as filling a pot with water. In addition, a joystick valve on the side controls water temperature and flow. Order Karbon through Ferguson Bath & Kitchen Gallery,
(480) 556-0103.

| Water Ways
A digital gauge that regulates temperature and water flow is just one of the pampering perks of GROHE’s Ondus collection—a new series of bath products that includes the AquaFountain (pictured). The fixture is a hand-held or built-in shower system that combines the company’s DreamSpray and DreamFall technologies to simulate the feeling of being under a waterfall or walking in the rain. The collection is offered in four finishes and will be available in showrooms early this fall. To place a special order, call GROHE at (800) 201-3407. Go to groheamerica.com to learn more.
